I was describing my new cat Nipsy to friends at the beach yesterday
and one said that he sounds like Maine Coon. Definite tufts of hair
coming out the bottom of the feat, tufts of hair on his face that make
him look somewhat lynxish. Most of those were removed by constant play
with his former buddy...

We have a beautiful 8 month old, spayed, has all her shots, manx
kitten. She is lovely to look at, orange tabby and amber eyes. She is
also the spawn of demon cats everywhere!!!
Neither my husband nor myself has ever experienced the nonsense this
kitten can produce. She slapped me awake the...

Hi
Our cat, yes he's white, has recently started to paw his eyebrow area.
He makes his face quite red and can cause bleeding.
We've had him in a 'lampshade' for a week to stop him and the problem
cleared. However, we've just took the collar off and he's done it again!
Why?
How can we stop him...

i posted this in alt.cats before i saw this group which is probably more
appropriate. sorry in advance for the cross post...
we are in the process of adopting a kitten that was picked up as a stray
with his three other brothers. we were told that they were in pretty bad
shape when the shelter got...

Hmmm, thanks MaryL but I really can't go to a canned food. My dog would
like it to much to resist, and it will bring ants in the house.
The good thing about canned food is, they usually go for it really well and eat
it right away,esp. if you only give them a half portion or so. There won't...

On the Today show this morning there was a very upsetting report of cat
mutilations in these two areas. People are urged to keep pets indoors until
this sick person/people are caught. The cats have been found cut in half with
one half missing or completely without organs ( surgical removal) . One...

Rizzo is doing a number on my TV speaker grilles with his claws. This is
despite having ready access to several scratching posts. I was able to
break Jack of the habit with the pennies-in-a-can bit, but Rizzo ignores it.
They somehow manage to pull off the double-sided tape I apply with...

Hi,
I was thinking about this last night. Yesterday I found and caught a
stray/feral kitten, which managed to give me a bite (mistaking my thumb for
food rather than out of fear/aggression!) This is not the first time I've
been bitten by a feral. Fortunately in Australia we don't have rabies,...

My kitten is just over 4 months old. I got her just over a week ago - she
wasn't entirely healthy then - was still sneezing and coughing (from the
kennel flu), but on the way to recovery. She finally stopped sneezing and
coughing within the first few days being at home, and her eyes were clear
and...

I agree with Lynn K's response.
We started with 2 Maine Coons (Jasper & Jasmine) who came from the same
cattery and were about the same age. They got along great. A couple of
years later we added another Maine Coon kitten (Molly) and it took a month
or so for the hissing and swatting to subside....

My 4-year old kitty has thrown up 3 times today. This morning it was last
night's food. A couple of hours later it was a clear, thick liquid. Just a
few minutes ago it was 2 lumps of brown stuff that looked like matted hair.
Since this is July 4th, my vet isn't in but hopefully will be tomorrow....

Hello, I've been reading about Feliway spray and/or diffuser and think it is
what I am looking for for my worried cat.
He's a big lovable puddin' but not very brave and the sight of other cats
near our garden makes him...

I got a foster cat in March of this past year and decided to keep her
for myself. May 7th I took her to the vet for an URI and she was on
Amoxidrops and an eye ointment for 2 and a half weeks. She was also
secluded during this time. She cleared up nicely and have seen no
symptoms until the past...

I picked up a new playmate for Espy. I went into the wilds of New
Jersy yesterday with my co-worker and made friends with his cat Nipsy,
and then took him with me. That was the plan. Nipsy showed up outside
their door a few months back and they fed him. Then, after he was
attacked by something...

Please recall my posting on 6/23/03, "Please Help Us...Crystal Hardly
Eats!".
We want to sincerely thank all of you that replied and helped
us...Thank you a lot!
We took Crystal to another vet after quite a bit of research on
various vets in our area. We found a cat specialist who is a...

My cat used to be so cuddly. But now if you come near his ears he
backs away. If you scratch his head and happen to move and ear he will
back off like you hit him. It looks like he's in pain.
Does any one know of why a cat or dog would behave like this?

Hi Ya'll,
Not an emergency --
We just found out that one of our cats is diabetic. He was pretty
sick and I took him to the Vet I use to work for, so we have good
medical support. Dr. Whitworth has told me W/D Science diet and
Science Diet canned kitten growth formulae are good enough for us...

I got a six week old kitten three weeks ago and I have a male cat
whose about five and a half years old. It's about nine weeks old now
but the kitten has never ever eaten meat. It just smells the stuff
and leaves it alone. The only thing it ever takes is mustard or a
mixture of egg and milk.
On...
